of each graze, to steady its tempest
to tread elongation and bend the strophes of rise.
Nuanced of pinch and ambled
constructs erst, dip
to claim and entangle our breath
For it is piety that shall spell and sustain.
Curved slowly, your tide
vaults lift of all width and explication.
Heaving years wreathed of intent
this kiss mutes, collapsing
glimpse atop body to articulate...
And so my earth slakes the bow to scrape and arrange hour and image.
Sound kneels of translation...
Of all effort, all endeavor,
fall toward my hand,
pass feel unto pledge.
